Reviews
I advise everyone to Macmirror complex candles, it's just really a miracle! Acute cystitis began a couple of days ago, instead of urine there was dark blood, then such wild pains began in the lower left abdomen, which is probably worse than childbirth, and this continued all night. They wanted to call an ambulance, but since I don’t really like doctors, I decided to try vaginal suppositories and read reviews about Akmiror Complex, except for the high price I found nothing more negative and decided.
It says that it is better to use this drug at night before bedtime, but since the pain exhausted me very much and reached hysterics, I put a candle in the afternoon, after 30 minutes the pain completely disappeared, as if nothing had happened! There was pain in the lower back, and the urge to the toilet every 3 minutes disappeared !!! And the cost lives up to expectations, this is a super drug !!!

My Macmiror pills initially hurt my stomach for several days. After its cancellation, the right kidney constantly hurts now. The doctor prescribed, in connection with the detection of bacteria in the urine. Do not cure, but cripple! I just made myself worse. Useless medicine, but its cost is certainly impressive.
